go.bsky.app/SerEDfN Here’s my first starter pack to share with the #kidlit community…picture book people with new books coming in 2025!
Tonight, I did a scary-to-me thing and survived! I read four minutes (one chapter) of my YA novel in front of authors, agents, and an editor. I'm proud of myself for conquering my fears! #theverge #ctcwriters #kidlit @thewritingbarn

Last weekend myself and 3 other #picturebook creators presented “DinoMania” for kids at the West Valley Library for stem, art, and history content related to our books. Complete with a scavenger fossil hunt. So much fun to collaborate and make an exciting, educational event. #edusky #kidlit
Kelly, JennL, and Jennifer are currently open to queries. Resharing the new ABLA Second Chance Inbox and submission guidelines again here, as all agents will get a chance to go through the SCI even if they're currently closed to queries! bsky.app/profile/andr...
Andrea Brown Literary Agency@andreabrownlit.bsky.social · 2y ago📣GREAT NEWS! We know it's hard to decide which agent to query, so we're excited to introduce ABLA'S SECOND CHANCE INBOX. Every ABLA agent has access to the Second Chance Inbox, and we'll go through it regularly to discover new material! New submission guidelines: www.andreabrownlit.com/submissions
Friends: it would mean the world if you could call out to the ether and share my books! They're about two tween stepsisters who constantly run afoul of ghosts, monsters, and other creepy stuff. They face them all with wit, snark, and especially snark. Did I say snark already? Also snark 😆
Had another fantastic meet-up with The Verge writers tonight—a Q&A with editor Mark Podesta. #kidlit
Hello new Bluesky #kidlit people! When you've had a chance to get settled, I hope you'll join us at #kidlitchat, every Tuesday at 9 pm Eastern. (Consider downloading deck.blue to your desktop to follow along.) No prep--come as you are. :-) See you there!

My niece just gave me the most thoughtful gift…a ghost Garland with my words printed from my blog! (my MC in my YA is a ghost, and @thesydneydavis knows I’m obsessed👻) #kidlit #amwriting
Amazing 🧵on revision! #amwriting #kidlit
Delilah S. Dawson@delilahsdawson.bsky.social · 3y agoWe have a question! First off, the usual caveats: YMMV, my way is not the only way, whatever works if your process, your process may change. That being said, I've been revising pretty much the same way since the beginning, and it works for me. So here we go. 1/
If you don't agree with agent/editor feedback, don't freak out. You can always start a conversation. Much like in a relationship, you're not trying to win the argument, you're trying to move forward together, stronger. 10/
